TV news shows are always so seductive to the networks. After all when there were only three stations, news used to be something everyone watched and people think behind the scenes stories are more interesting than the on air stuff. But I don't have to remind you about the TV News comedy or drama shows that litter the tape morgue. Here are just a few that I can quickly come up with and I know there are more:
Sports Night
Good Morning Miami
Less Than Perfect
Or course there are shows like Murphy Brown that were big hits. With that in mind, FOX is bringing us two shows this year based on the TV news premise. Back to You is a sitcom with Kelsey Grammer/Patricia Heaton and Anchorwoman is a reality show based in Tyler, Texas.
We'll see how long these last.
In other news, NBC's Campbell Brown is taking over Paula Zahn's time slot on CNN. Many of you might remember that Zahn used to work at KPRC and KHOU in Houston.
